History

Al-Hilal United FC was founded in 2019 in Al Lisaili, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and around February 2020, it was announced that Abdullah bin Musa'ad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has ownership to the newly established club.[7]

The club began their journey through competing in the UAE Second Division League,[8][9] the third tier of Emirati football, during the 2019–20 season. They ended the following season on fifth position with 23 points in 17 matches.[10]

In the 2020–21 UAE Division 2 season,[11] they achieved success and qualified for the play-offs after finishing on top of Group A with 32 points in 14 matches. Later their journey came to an end after losing 9–0 to Abtal Al Khaleej.[12][13]

Home stadium

Al-Hilal used The Sevens Stadium in Dubai for their home games during their earlier seasons. In 2021–22 season, Al Hilal rented a pitch at Al Hamriya Sports Club Stadium to play for their home fixtures as The Sevens had too many teams using it as their home base.
